Like LOOK at it.

Old Debenhams store in Bristol, which has been rebranded as a skate park, cafe and bar called Shredenhams. The outer signage has the word 'Shred' in bright pink rad lettering blasted over the old Debenhams sign.

Do I get an entirely different train home from Bristol on Saturday now that I've learnt about a Pokemon card show in an abandoned Debenhams store that's been converted into a skate park?

It feels kinda like it was made for me specifically so...

Best use of Comic Sans of the weeeeeek.

A pint of beer sat on an outdoor table. You can see a kayak and buoyancy aid behind. The beer glass has the words "Ay up mi duck" printed on it in the font Comic Sans.
